Lost Madonna, originally uploaded by john m flores. Via Flickr:Visited the Cloisters in Manhattan today and was deeply moved by the art there. Part of the Metropolitan Museum, the Cloisters focuses on medieval european art, much of it biblical in inspiration. Here, a wooden statue of the Virgin Mary looks downward upon what experts guess…
